I think Bullock has the higher upside for us next season. He has a chance to be as good of a shooter as Steph, and he's a better defender, passable at the least. Steph shouldn't get more than 6M but you never know. I rather have Bullock for 4, and he could just be a minimum
seth might be the better defender, tho
really? I don't remember Bullock being a bad defender but I key in on certain players and don't watch others. I remember his defense against Harden being admirable
Brandon Ingram $7,265,485
Lonzo Ball $8,719,320
Kyle Kuzma $1,974,600
Josh Hart $1,934,160
Moritz Wagner $2,063,520
Isaac Bonga $1,416,852
LeBron James $38,150,000 (35% of $109mm)
Jermerrio Jones $1,416,852
Reggie Bullock $4,750,000 (cap hold)
D'Angello Russell $27,250,000 (25% of $109mm)
Patrick Beverley $8,162,053 (remainder of cap space=$25.7mm/3 years)
Incomplete Roster Salary Hold $897,158
Luol Deng $5,000,000
= $109,000,000
Brandon Ingram $7,265,485
Lonzo Ball $8,719,320
Josh Hart $1,934,160
Moritz Wagner $2,063,520
Isaac Bonga $1,416,852
Jermerrio Jones $1,416,852
= $22,816,189
x 1.25 + $100,000 = $28,620,236
Anthony Davis = $27,093,019 + $1,527,217 (trade kicker amount that he keeps) = $28,620,236
Re-Sign: Reggie Bullock to $20mm/2 year deal (team option in the second year--expiring contract that can be traded mid-season)
Sign: Trevor Ariza (former Pelinka client) for room exception
Vet minimums: Javale McGee, Trey Burke, Boban Marjanovic, Taj Gibson, Kyle Korver, Alex Caruso
Starting 5
Patrick Beverley
D'Angello Russell
LeBron James
Anthony Davis
Javale McGee
Bench
Trey Burke
Reggie Bullock
Trevor Ariza
Kyle Kuzma
Boban Marjanovic
Alex Caruso
Kyle Korver
Taj Gibson
Closing 5: Russell, James, Davis and Beverley/Bullock/Ariza/Kuzma/Korver/Gibson (pick 2 based on matchups and in-game feel)
Thanks for all of the work you put into that. I think your Beverley salary is just too low. We don't know exactly how the market will pan out, but I've seen $10-12 million as being the window for him.
Maybe it’s too low. Or maybe a legit chance at a title and to be able to stay in the city that he has been in for the past two seasons is enough incentive to take such a deal. If not, that amount should get you a league average player at that position (e.g., Collison).

No way I agree with that. Seth can only play avg defense against his brother. I wouldn't pay more than vet min for him. Even at room MLE we could do better.
"room MLE" isn't a thing.

"a lot of changes are going to happen but I cant talk about them cause of NBA rules" MY BODY IS READY
Not to burst anyone’s bubble but she could just be talking about the Davis trade because by NBA rules it’s not official and he is not a Laker till July 6th, 2019. So by the rules she technically can’t discuss it publicly yet.
Davis is one change...she said a lot of changes. Could mean a lot of things.
I wonder if we play her remarks backwards if it will reveal any secret codes.

I hadn't thought of this before, but I wonder what Brogdon's relationship is like with Kidd. That could be a big reason for him to not want to play with us.
IDK, but wasn't he ROY under Kidd?
Brogdon is probably my favorite non-star free agent but he is restricted so its too much risk to go after him just to have the Bucks match our offer while other players get signed up
I like the guy....I just prefer DLo on a 4 year deal. At the end of the deal, DLo will still be younger than Brogdon is right now.
And still won't be putting up 50/40/90
you think you can just plug in numbers into a line up?
This team lacks a PG who can create for himself and team8s.
Kyrie
Kemba
D’lo
If no kawhi
Yeah he wouldn't fit at all I'm just plugging numbers into a lineup. You're right because LeBron James is strictly an off-ball player.
It is not about him being an off-ball player, it is about him needing a guy who can create off the dribble when the paint clogs up in the 4th or as the shot clock runs down. I’m not trying to see LBJ launching from the Logo like last season because he can no longer penetrate at will, it is too predictable.
Kyrie & Wade were those guys for him.

"room MLE" isn't a thing.
Bullock is a fake defender.
Saying "Room MLE" is an abbreviated way of saying "Mid-Level Salary Exception for Room Teams" as outlined in the CBA. Here's the relevant portion on page 206: https://i.imgur.com/xPFI2KM.png
Here's a HoopsHype article breaking down the three kinds of MLEs available and using the same verbiage:
Quote:
Room Mid-Level Exception ($2.898 million in 2016-17):
“Room” is the lowest of the three mid-level exceptions and available to teams that are under the cap enough to lose the more valuable exceptions. The room exception is also shorter in terms of maximum years, and players can only be signed up to two years.
So yes, it is a thing.

Paint was clogged up because our lineup last season was 4 non shooters and LeBron. _________________ I just put my whole damn arm in the fridge

eeek. still so hard to suss out the legitimacy of defensive analytics
Agreed, but most of us make definitive opinions about a player's defense based on...?
right right. there's really no accurate way to pinpoint a player's defense other than a intelligent viewer really honing in on that player's every possession.lol.
just, when a stat has Klay Thompson miles below Seth Curry on defense. it's tough. I'd like to think Klay was at least an average defender (overrated but average), and Seth was slightly below average at best. Some of the rankings are just so nuts, you don't know where to take a large grain of salt, where to take a small grain, and where you should view it as accurate.
I was looking at PIPM yesterday and Nurkic is like the 9th ranked player in the league, above Bron; and Kawhi is like 15tth..with an expected 19th next season. How do I ingest these stats?

not really but she in ballmers head. his whole campaign is to prove how the lakers are bad by paying mouth pieces like woj and fat windy
She just admitted there is a rivalry. Especially considering the Forum emails that were leaked. She is concerned with what his executive team is doing. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

Fake news? The question and her response didn't have anything to do with Ballmer or the Clips... Jeanie was answering the interviewer's question about whether her confidence in Rob has been unwavering in light of everything that has happened since Magic quit and whatever the media has been reporting (making up) because it looks like it's going to be a good summer for us. To which she answered that she has 100% confidence in Rob and don't need the outside media to validate the work being done.

I like brogdon a lot, but our best bet is Russell. Besides, if we had brogdon we would have two of the heaviest guards in the league on the same team, not necessarily bad but kind of duplication. THC and Brogdon together ad up to 468 pounds in th back court with and average height of about 6-4. Again, not bad, but duplication. We probably being back lance too whi strike me as a heavier guard.

That is nice and all, but it is just a stat of efficiency....I mean dude could repeat that for the next 5 years and still not even be an All Star. Dlo will have a better career than Brogdon barring injury.....and he will be much better at 27 that Brogdon is today.
